Dear all,
As you know the Tarot is claimed since Romantic period as an universal glyph making accessible several researchs into different fields such as, sociology, psychology, iconography, anthropology, philosophy and so forth. Enourmous advances have been occurring in these contexts aforementioned. On the other hand, there is a subtle knowledge applied to deep aspects of the Occult Tradition which the Mother of Revolutions guide us. That subtle material enclosed in the Thoth sheets always will represent a certain way the inmost nature of man, essentially his/her Quintessence in Its far more extensive plane or substratum of our Core. With reference to Tarot's iconography it can be traced through the profound social and religious aspects that flows via effective Current according to Its own prism (cultural geographic). This question can be denoted for several revolutions in reference to determinated periods of universal history typified on the Medieval sheets.
In early 10s, Aleister Crowley, as a grasper scholar of the Tarotic Science, perceived somewhat different on the cards so that the old Tarotic arrangement should be changed, obviously that his vision had change to other point of view. Nevertheless, he published his old vision about the Tarot, in his book so-called "A Description of the Cards of the Tarot" (Liber LXXVIII) issued in Equinox, Vol.I, number 8 in 1912 based on Golden Dawn teachings. At same period he received a strange grimoire so-called Liber 231 or 22 Cells of the Qliphoth and the Tunnels of Set. After these events, Crowley had a first and potential insight into his researchs about Tarot. We don't forget that year was to Crowley an important year in his magikal career. Besides his first contact with the O.T.O. of Reuss, he reactivated contact with the manuscript of the AL (Book of the Law), for during nine years (a complete cycle of Hermit = silence and reclusion) he mantained a certain distance of manuscript so that this was a vital conflict period in his life. The resulted we have been seeing. All these events were very important for his preparation of that it would go to come more ahead. In early 20s he renewed his study about Tarot so that arose the first stratus of a new "CosmoTaroticVision" but he need more informations about the sheets. He spoke this in his 'Cofession' around 20s. For 25 years (25 is a number of ChIVA = The Beast), Crowley elaborated an original plane of an entire Tarotic system "Naples Arrangement" and not from Florence or Toscana region, and fortunately he met Frieda Harris to help him. The KEY was a natural impulse which took Crowley on to elaborate a new pictography coming through rapport accomplished during the process of coming of the Grimoire so-called 231. This working was initial step to production of the Book of Thoth in the modern times, of course. Before him Alliette had a fast comprehension of this, but vanishing soon after that... In paradox two early books of Crowley gives a special Key to understanding the new model of the Thoth sheets - 'Ambrosii Magi Hortus Rosarum (1902) and The Wake World [Liber XCV] (1906)' - and please, pay attention, this an accurate Key to penetrate into every sheet of the Thoth. The essential Revolution of Taurt shows the principal portion that is the basis of that criative conciousness gave forth to every Soul. Love under Will. For some Initiates this is simple. What means this word, TIME (ATU XVII)? An Illusion (ATV XII)?
I hope that you enjoy.
